Now that the scribe’s case was successfully completed, next would be Xiao Cui’s case, and that bizarre inhuman case.
Zhang Biao was stunned, instantly recalling that Bai Lixin seemed to have something to tell him.
“Sir, wasn’t there something you wanted to tell me in the study?”
He looked at Bai Lixin but found Bai Lixin gazing straight ahead, as if looking at someone.
Following Bai Lixin’s gaze, he saw a tall and upright white-haired man from the Qingcheng Sect standing silently on the opposite side, a faint smile on his lips as he stared at Bai Lixin.
“Constable Zhang,” Bai Lixin glanced at Zhang Biao, “you go back first, I have something to attend to.”
Zhang Biao recognized the person across from him.
The elder of Qingcheng Sect.
Of course, he recognized the other person, but the other person didn’t recognize him.
The elder from the Qingcheng Sect was a big shot. How could the other party notice a small figure like him?
Zhang Biao smiled self-mockingly and then bowed to Bai Lixin with clasped fists. “Then we’ll go back first, sir.”
Bai Lixin simply nodded and walked through the crowd to the elder of the Qingcheng Sect.
His expression was calm, and he was neither humble nor overbearing. “Greetings, Immortal Master. Immortal Master is here, could it be you were waiting for me intentionally?”
“I don’t usually like to go out. The only one who can make me wait here for so long is you.” The white-haired man looked sharply at Bai Lixin. “Master Bai Lixin, or should I address you as… Madam Lin?”
Bai Lixin pursed his lips, neither confirming nor denying. “What do you want with me?”
“Follow me, it’s not convenient to talk here with so many people.” Both of them were good-looking, and curious glances were cast their way as people passed by.
Seeing the Qingcheng Sect elder standing in front of him with his husband’s face, Bai Lixin felt a burning rage inside.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the raging fire in his heart, and silently followed the Qingcheng Sect elder.
They quickly returned to Tongfu Inn.
The inn was already filled with the aroma of meat. Smelling this scent, Bai Lixin suddenly felt a bit nauseous, and his expression became somewhat unpleasant.
Seeing this, the white-haired man lightly patted Bai Lixin’s shoulder, and the turbulent feeling in his stomach was alleviated.
“Feeling better?” The white-haired man’s voice was gentle as he gently picked up a strand of Bai Lixin’s hair and played with it in his hand. “I’ve been wanting to find you, but you’ve been too busy. Come, let’s go inside and talk.”
Bai Lixin pursed his lips and silently followed behind the man into his bedroom.
“What do you want to drink?” As soon as they entered, the man closed the door. “Biluochun or Longjing? I also have some excellent white tea, would you like to try it?”
“Anything is fine.” Bai Lixin calmly watched the man’s movements.
Not to mention, his old gong’s face was handsome. As long as he didn’t do some disgusting actions, anyone with his face could look decent.
Bai Lixin slowly sat down and, waited for the man to finish brewing the tea.
He poured a cup for himself, then poured a cup for Bai Lixin before slowly sitting down.
Bai Lixin picked up the tea cup, sniffed it, and the fragrance of the tea filled the air.
It smelled good.
With this thought, he picked up the cup, placed it by his lips, and took a small sip.
“Baby, I miss you so much.”
An abrupt endearment suddenly rang out.
“Pfft!” Bai Lixin was in the middle of drinking tea. Upon hearing these words, he didn’t react in time, and the tea sprayed directly towards the man opposite, drenching him.
The man clearly didn’t expect such a reaction. He looked at Bai Lixin in astonishment, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
“Sorry!” Bai Lixin quickly stood up, grabbing a cloth from the table to wipe the man.
Once the man saw what Bai Lixin had in his hands, he immediately moved away, his voice somewhat distorted, “That’s a table-cleaning cloth!”
Bai Lixin’s body instantly stiffened. He quickly placed the cloth on the table, looking increasingly embarrassed. “Yes, I’m sorry. I’m not familiar with the room’s arrangement.”
“You can’t blame me either. Who asked you to suddenly call me like that, it scared me.”
The man’s angry expression eased a bit. He coughed lightly, his tone once again becoming very gentle. “I’m sorry, my dear. It’s my fault for scaring you.”
On hearing this, Bai Lixin immediately pinched his thigh hard to prevent himself from bursting into laughter.
“Oh, I also did something wrong. Who are you now…” Bai Lixin sat down again, frowning slightly and scrutinizing the other person.
“You don’t recognize me?” The man immediately pointed at his own face. “You really don’t recognize me?”
“It turns out it’s really you, you scared me to death, you damn ghost!” Bai Lixin widened his eyes. “I didn’t dare to recognize you! You bastard, you old fart!”
The man’s mouth twitched.
‘Damn ghost?
Bastard?
Old fart?
Is this…how they play?
Isn’t this too heavy?’
After adjusting his expression, the man sat back in his seat. “Why didn’t you dare to recognize me?”
“Because I was scared.” Bai Lixin patted his chest. “The first time I saw you, you looked like you’d reject people from miles away. I thought you were fake and never dared to recognize you.”
The man’s eyelids twitched. ”How could it be fake? It was just inconvenient at that time. Plus, with my special identity in this copy, I had to maintain that character.”
“Oh, I see. But it’s great, it’s really you.”
‘Copy, Character…
Is he a player?
What does he want to do by getting close to me?’
“Yeah, it’s great. I finally recognized you.” The man smiled and was about to reach out to holds hands with Bai Lixin, but Bai Lixin’s hand quickly slipped into his pocket, and the other hand picked up a tea cup, making the man miss.
“You don’t know,” the man didn’t find it awkward, and quickly retracted his hand, “I wanted to recognize you immediately on the two occasions I found you, but it’s because of the character restriction that I couldn’t do that.”
“I really miss you. It’s getting dark soon. Please stay tonight, okay?”
Bai Lixin’s eyes flickered. He silently took a sip of tea, looking at the somewhat eager man opposite him. “In the past, you couldn’t remember anything each time. You suddenly remembered this time, and I’m not used to it. Didn’t we progress gradually, before? Give me a little more time, alright, damn ghost.”
The man: “…”
‘The previous part was quite sincere, but what’s up with that last term?’
He took a deep breath, secretly examining the young man across from him, swallowing hard.
So beautiful.
Such a high-class beauty, he must make him his.
Silently recalling the information, the young man hadn’t lied; he and the owner of this face usually waited until the end to act.
Since that’s the case, he can’t go too out of character.
Thinking this, the man immediately nodded, “Alright, stay for dinner. I’ll take you back after dinner. Can that work?”
“Let’s talk about dinner later,” Bai Lixin didn’t reject immediately. “I have to tutor the young crown prince tonight. I might not be able to have dinner. Since we have some time now, let’s chat. I really miss you and want to know what bizarre things have happened in this world, what has happened to you. You used to tell me everything about yourself, didn’t you? I want to know everything about you.”
As he spoke, he stared at the man.
The man saw the deep affection in the beautiful man’s eyes and felt a flutter in his heart and then began to speak.
“My character in this copy is the elder of Qingcheng Sect on Qingcheng Mountain. Although my title is elder, my seniority is the highest in the sect. Even the sect leader has to call me ‘elder.’”
“Qingcheng Sect suppresses demons and eliminates evil, killing all the worldly evils. It’s a righteous NPC character.”
“About two months ago, there was an incident in Qingcheng Town, so I came down with my people.”
He paused. “Of course, I didn’t need to intervene in this matter, but I rushed down because I calculated that you would appear in these few days, so I came down.”
“The first time I saw you, you were dressed as a woman, and I thought I had mistaken the person. I just met you briefly and didn’t dare to recognize you.”
“The second time when I saw you with County Magistrate Lin and heard him say that you are his wife’s younger brother, I suddenly realized. It was you that day, in woman’s disguise.”
Bai Lixin: “So, you instructed the delivery of the divine meat that day?”
Elder Qingcheng nodded. “Yes, divine meat strengthens the body and prolongs life. Although I didn’t know that person was you, I felt they were similar to you. I also saw that the old woman beside you seemed to have a special liking for divine meat, so I had someone deliver a bowl to you.”
“Don’t send it next time,” Bai Lixin calmly refused. “You know I hate eating meat. I originally suspected it was you, but after you sent me the divine meat, I felt it couldn’t be you. That’s why I gradually distanced myself from you.”
There was surprise in the man’s eyes. His gaze flickered slightly. “I saw you were a bit excited, and I forgot about this. Don’t blame me.”
“Okay, okay. How could I blame you, you old bastard. You actually scared me. If you forget again next time, don’t come looking for me. You damn dog. Hmph.”
The man: “…”
‘Why does it feel like… he’s insulting me?’
———————————
In the live broadcast room.
[I’m just this confident and carefree, I insult you while loving you.]
[God Xin is really sneaking in some personal shots this time.]
[The more I look, the more I feel that this Elder Qingcheng is definitely not the big boss. He’s just carrying the face. His actions and expressions are quite convincing, but when he suddenly exaggerates his expressions, it falls apart. He’s far from our big boss. Even if he wears the big boss’s face, he can’t become our big boss. On the other hand, even with a plain appearance this time, our big boss’s temperament remains the same.]
[Beauty is in the bone, not the skin. I’m on the side of the monk big boss in this wave of looks.]
[Gradually from getting used to it to falling in love with it.]
[So here’s the question, where did this fake come from? What does he want to do?]
[From his words, it seems he wants to… sleep with God Xin?]
[Pfft, is he even qualified? What is he, and is God Xin someone he can touch? Disgusting. If I were God Xin, I’d feel insulted. What kind of disaster is he, no wonder God Xin’s every word if full of curses when mentioning him.]
[He’s probably an ignorant pig.]
[Hahaha, an ignorant pig who doesn’t know what’s good for him.]
[Rest assured, everyone, God Xin must have seen through him long ago. Our God Xin is smart, he won’t be fooled. This person is also foolish, actually underestimating our God Xin. Does he think he can get God Xin just by putting on a face? Is our God Xin that superficial?]
[Our God Xin is the most indifferent to appearances! Even a vine is fine!]
[Exactly! A mass of black mist is also fine! Our God Xin is the most “indifferent to appearances”!]
[If we talk about ugliness, isn’t the previous skeleton ugly?]
[Hey, where’s the ugliness in a skeleton? It’s obviously cool, okay? That’s not ugliness; it’s just bizarre. Bones are super cool.]
[Hahaha, “indifferent to appearances,” there’s no face at all, okay?! Hahaha.]
[I’m just saying, this dog has miscalculated. Let’s see how God Xin deals with him!]
[I can’t wait!]
——————————-
“What’s your task this time? Do you need help?” The man across continued speaking. “Is it difficult? How much progress have you made?”
“Oh, it’s not difficult, it’s a welfare copy. What difficulty could there be?” Bai Lixin smiled. “The task is to survive for twelve days. Today is already the fifth day.”
“Just endure for another seven days, and you’ll complete the task. But I see you’ve been quite busy lately, is that your only task?” The man continued, “Don’t feel embarrassed, I can help you. I see you’ve been going to the yamen and the prince’s place lately. Is your character a scholar or Madam Lin this time?”
Bai Lixin looked at the man across from him, pondering for two seconds before answering slowly, “There’s only that one task. That’s why I said it’s a welfare copy. I’m a restless person, so since I’m here, I decided to look around. Otherwise, I’d be bored.”
“Anyway, I’ll just pass these days and go out soon.”
“As for my character, my character is the Song family’s substitute daughter. But my body structure hasn’t changed, it’s still a male body. I’m not very used to cross-dressing, so later, I found an excuse to return to my natal home, changed my identity, and continued wandering around. I wandered into the yamen, and found it quite interesting.”
Listening to the man’s questions, he roughly drew several conclusions.
The man doesn’t know about his tasks.
He deliberately gave the wrong number of days, and the man had no reaction.
The man doesn’t know that his character is a fox demon; he always thought his character was that of a human.
If the man is truly a player in the game, then he should have seen how powerful he is.
If the man finds out about him becoming a fox and becoming weak, it might cause trouble.
Now that the scribe’s case was successfully completed, next would be Xiao Cui’s case, and that bizarre inhuman case.
Zhang Biao was stunned, instantly recalling that Bai Lixin seemed to have something to tell him.
